Yeah, exactly, I just meant for me personally it is less interesting and well travelled territory to hear about Garcia’s decades long struggle with heroin or whatever.
I thought it might be interesting to hear about the few times Bob was on something and if I could pick it up in the audio.

Or Like the Garcia hash brownie tale of the first night of the 90 European tour etc etc

Hey Uncle Bruce,
The standard media rap was always we are professional musicians with lots of responsibility.
But obviously the band would have access to the keys to the kingdom of whatever they might want to partake of.
Jazz Musicians have always been known for their music having the kaleidoscope of mind altering influence.
Jerry got really into the work and writing of ethnobotanist Terrance McKenna.
around the time in question.
Many of those plant based 'sacraments' would probably pass under the radar
of things one could get busted for.
Sorry if i blow torched you before I wasn't sure of your intent.
Some Heads did 20 year bids for Psychedelic 'crimes'
many of whom were turned in by folks that looked like Heads
but were anything but--- when push came to shove,,
Chris

Yowza, my only intention was curiosity, didn’t realize I had Nark vibe, like I’m a middle aged man in a tye dye, new jeans and shiny black loafers wondering the lot asking to buy drugs. Will look into McKenna, just the story of Phil that late dropping blew my mind and thought there may be others stories I didn’t know.

We pay the storyteller off in ……..

Hey Brother,
I think it was Atlanta in the Omni lot when the hippies started the whole you have been un-arrested thing.
And this hippie comes flying by us handcuffed with two
Fake hippies following in hot pursuit.
No Birkenstocks on those dudes.
Yeah, we probably could have used our own sign/ counter sign
Challenge Question- China?
Acceptable Answers
A-rider
B-cat
C-doll
D-town shuffle
I guess the problem was many of the locals not always clued in to the deadhead culture, where always seeking to purchase from tour heads.
Yes, Check out McKenna he was another guy who died young,
Garcia was always referencing him!
We get our shrewms
From cow pastures here in Florida
And i am pretty sure
that is where the term
Shit faced
Got started.
